HIST 103: US to 1877

This is the home page for Dr. Isern's sections of HIST 103 offered via NDSU Distance & Continuing Education. It provides entry to a website, or collection of web pages, that supports administration of the course and learning in it. The website answers all the customary requirements of a course syllabus, and more. Explore the website, use it as a reference throughout the course, and keep an eye on the weblog framed into the middle column of this home page. That's where announcements and updates will be posted. Website under construction! Feel free to look around at materials as they are posted. Everything will be in place for the course to begin in late August.
